I’m debating what the right thing to do is (protocol wise and for myself personally)
I just received an offer for an internal role I applied for. I am also interviewing externally and today let them know I have an offer in hand. Both external roles I’m interviewing for are significantly higher in comp and title. Would it be bad form to accept the internal role when I know I may be accepting another role and leaving in less than 3 months? (Additional context in comments)

It happens, you can’t always align the timelines. Do what’s best for you at the end of the day. You won’t have been the first person to do that and people are generally quite understanding in today’s market. I would accept the first offer if you can’t line up the times right. It’s perfectly acceptable after a few months in that role, that you find it’s not the best fit for your career goals. You can simply say that when resigning if it comes down to it. Typically the first 90 days are a trial period for both you and the employer anyways. You won’t be burning bridges in my opinion. Do what you need to do and everyone will forget about you in a few days time anyway.

I do not feel and have not felt supported at my current global company (under employed, slow career trajectory and low value placed on non-sales roles). Still great benefits and location, and relatively easy work (better the devil you know, one bird in hand is worth two in the bush)
The 2 companies I have been interviewing with, the roles are more senior (VP at a PE firm and CSO at a much smaller company) , the comp significantly more (+$100k for both), and cultures seem great
Current company does not know I’m interviewing externally
1) Should I accept current role?
2) If yes for #1, should I stop interviewing with the 2 companies?
3) If I continue interviewing and get an offer (start dates in mid March), how do I not burn bridges at my current company?

Does anyone have insights into how the size of annual equity refresh grants at Atlassian compare to the size of their new hire grants?

First job in Canada, contractual position, part time. Prior experience is MBA, 5 years international experience. Position with a small consultancy. What should be the hourly rate? They've asked me to share my expectations.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

Additional Posts in Negotiating Offers

Hi Fellow Fishes! I need some urgent advice. I had accepted a job offer at a really good company with a good role and team. I am due to start that new job on Monday 30th Aug. Now the thing is I have a better job offer from one of my dream companies-i would be really stupid not to take that offer. So I would be declining the job at the first company just 2 days before i am supposed to start! I know its a good problem to have but a very unpleasant conversation with them. How do i soften the blow?

Hi! I have an offer internally within my current org for a level above my current paygrade and they are pushing me to sign the offer. I’m actually waiting to hear back from FAANG(might take 2 weeks from here on). I’m really confused on how I could keep my current internal offer in the loop while I wait for my faang interview results? I don’t want to sign up internally and then later if faang works out I would have to say no to these internal folks..

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well.

There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

Job offer - Marketing Program Manager $85k…national avg per Glassdoor and LinkedIn is $95-$102k…recruiter says offer is close to top of range and cant offer more to meet my researched info. Not sure what else to go back with or just accept.

How do you deal with counter offers? I have an offer to join a larger tech company in a more senior role, with bonus and RSUs that my current start up can’t match.

This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?
